I have just replaced a single bulb light with a mains transformer supplier multilight (20 x 10 watt bulbs), a heavy copper wound transformer rather than a small lightweight one.

I have just purchased some LED bulbs to replace the existing standard GU5.3 halogen downlights I have. I have a dozen of these in two sets of six. When I put one of the low energy LED's in it is fine, any more than that and the LED's do not light up. Tried all six but no avail. Also tried...

I have just fitted a halogen light in my dining room, this is on the same circuit as my kitchen lights which are also halogens. Total load on the circuit is 500w. When I switch the dining room light on it works but if you switch it off and on it eventually trips the switch in the fuse box...
